| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? I've directly compared the Herron vtph2 against the zesto and the asthetix signature with a premium tube set. The Herron was preferred by all 3 present by no small margin. Likewise I have nothing but praise for Keith as well. I was waiting for min... | |
| System Help Arent 845M and 845C the same tubes? Both metal plate shuguangs just different pulls? The M may have better qc.... Correct me if I'm wrong. | |
| 845 Tube for Cary 805AE Shuguang C is slightly better than b in my system. Not sure about dissipation ratings though. | |
| Preamp phono suggestions Herron ended the search for me. | |
| speakers for first watt j2 I would go for an older pair of tannoys. Sometimes you can get an old pair of Arden's for that dough. Then later you could always build custom boxes for the drivers and outboard xovers. Failing that I second the ref 3a suggestion. Or look at zu. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I have tannoys and love them. Have heard zu and enjoyed those as well. | |
| amplifier for Tannoy I think that would be a great pAiring! As dan said they work great with a wide variety. My current fave is an 845 amp. | |
| Tannoy Arundel They say to cross them in front of you which works but I preferred to aim them slightly away from my shoulders. One of the easiest speakers to set up IMHO. | |

| VPI 3-D tonearm I think it's more of a medium mass | |
| Aesthetix vs. Allnic vs. ARC ph7 This guy hand selects low noise tubes for the various positions. I forget which ones as I had just borrowed the unit for a week. | |
| Aesthetix vs. Allnic vs. ARC ph7 Sbrown just to clarify the rhea I AB'd against the Herron had a premium Jim mcshane tubeset in it. The Herron had telefunkens in it. 3 of us present all preferred the Herron. I'm a little baffled with your experience as it is so different than our... | |
| Rec a 300B for Wavelength Cardinal Monoblocks Parts connexion has a sale on shuguang black treasures. I believe those to be your best bang for the buck. Lots of folks talk about the takasuki's being all that but the ones I heard weren't so great. I would rank them Sophia RPShuguang BTTakasuki... | |
| Preamp tubes... Psvane or Genelex? Nos telefunkens were the top of the heap out of everything I tried. | |
| Basis Vector cartridge recommendations Out of the 3 you list I would go Lyra. Otherwise maybe dyna xv1s |
